Dear Editor,
I just read the article, political, by a Mr. Lawrence K. Pettit, who I think is a native Lewistownite. It is possible that he is not, of course.
I noticed Mr. Pettit had served as top official at several liberal, as opposed to liberal arts maybe, institutions of so-called higher learning, where he no doubt made sure no genuine conservative professor or outside speaker was allowed to teach.

Dear Editor,
Wake up! Wake up! Jesus is coming soon. He has to save us from blowing up our world.
He asked one question of us: “Will I find Faith on the Earth when I come?” -- faith to believe that the 23rd Psalm, and especially the last few verses, are true. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the presence of the Lord forever.
Revelation 3:10 says that “because you have kept the word of my patience and not denied my name, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation coming upon the whole Earth.”

Dear Editor,
Saturday evening the 20th, Bev and I were at Harry’s Place for dinner to celebrate our 61st anniversary. We sat next to a young man and his cute little daughter, maybe 7 years old, and struck up a conversation. Of course, Bev told them we were celebrating our 61st anniversary. He commented on how wonderful it was for two people to be together that long. They finished their meal, paid their bill and left. As they went out the door the little girl had a big smile on her face.

Dear Editor,
The questions pertaining to the Ackley Lake situation don’t appear to be asked of the right people.
Who is in charge of the Montana F.W. and P.?
Who appoints the director of our F.W. and P.?
Who is the first and last word on the state budget?
An underling cannot make a decision, only a recommendation.
Wisdom says, “We the People” should probably be addressing our newspaper articles to our Governor Bullock, who has the “authority” to render a decision. We don’t need more study teams; we need decision-makers.

Dear Editor,
The Central Montana Salvation Army Service Extension Unit is currently undergoing a major transition with our current coordinators, who are retiring after 25 years, to a new coordinator. We are currently working with the new coordinator to train him regarding the responsibilities and duties he will be performing for the community.

Dear Editor,
It didn’t start with Trump, but his candidacy appears to have given some people permission to amp up venting their hostility toward other people.
Maybe it is time to review the costs:
Lewistown’s downtown has been struggling for a number of years now. Some business interests have done and continue to do well, but their sales and products are not dependent on local or visiting consumers.
Campaigning for elective office has been an eye-opening experience and given me a new perspective.

Dear Editor,
I would again like to thank all the volunteers and donations that got the missile restored and the sidewalks done. A big part of the funds came from the Central Montana Foundation, which are also donations. The next project for the American Legion, VFW, Son’s of the American Legion and the Auxiliaries, will be restoring the WWII Cannon. All of this is a great addition to Lewistown.

Dear Editor,
Thank you, Central Montana for rolling out the red carpet for the 31st Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering and Western Music Rendezvous last weekend, Aug. 11-14.
Every kindness, consideration and smile extended the performers, artist/vendors, attendees and organizers of Cowboy Poetry resulted in creating a wonderfully positive experience for everyone involved in the Gathering.

Dear Editor,
To the Montana State Parks and Recreation Board: The Utica Rod and Gun Club, with a membership of 50 plus, supports the continuation of the current status of Ackley Lake as a State Park.
In addition, our club members are very concerned with, and take exception to, the current classification (Class 4) for Ackley Lake State Park as stated in your recently developed Strategic Plan. Ackley Lake State Park is very significant and relevant to our area.
